It is important when getting an office chair to be comfortable, there are a variety of chairs available out there, some are bespoke to fit a persons needs, others a more generic, here are some of the different styles:
TomCat
The Tomcat Science Chair is purpose designed to be an unobtrusive, supportive and fully independent work-chair that is simple and practical to use in a busy mainstream school environment. Its appearance is deliberately similar to a computer chair.
Fenland Furniture
The seat and back of the chair are made to fit your personal measurements. The chair has an integral footrest and may be made with or without armrests. Its unique feature, which makes it so suitable for people with restricted growth, is that it can be raised and lowered using a simple hand control. Thus you can lower the chair for ease of sitting on it and then raise it to the appropriate height for the work surface or desk. Similarly the process can be reversed for getting off the chair in a dignified way which also avoids any twisting movements that are liable to aggravate back problems. The chairs are available in a wide variety of fabrics and colours.
Vela
The highly stable ergonomic office chair with an electric lift and brake function. Specialised for users with mobility impairments and back problems, it is an excellent chair that is highly manoeuvrable, safe to get in and out of and adjustable through electronic controls.
